Rihanna, billionaire boyfriend pictured in heated exchange

R&B singer Rihanna and her billionaire boyfriend, Hassan Jameel, are seemingly experiencing a turbulent period in their relationship, after RiRi was pictured repeatedly pointing her finger at the Saudi magnate.

The tense moment of the couple was captured last Friday, when the two were holidaying in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, the Dailymail says.

Rihanna and Jameel sat together on a large sunbed, failing to raise a smile throughout the exchange.

Hassan, 29, was pictured explaining something to Rihanna and defensively gestured towards his chest as Rihanna pointed her finger in his direction.

At one point, Rihanna smoked a cigarette as she appeared to be mulling things over.

Hassan got up and walked away, appearing dejected.

Rihanna, 30, followed shortly afterwards, wrapping a white towel around her waist as she got up from the lounger.

Reports in June suggested that Rihanna had ‘grown tired’ of her lover before dumping him.

A friend of the singer told MediaTakeOut: “It’s over… Rihanna broke his heart. That’s what she does, break men’s hearts. Rihanna just got tired of him. She gets tired of men sometimes.”

The couple first made headlines in June 2017 when they were pictured putting on a steamy display in a hot tub in Spain.

Rihanna had never publicly confirmed the relationship but referred to a serious relationship in interviews.

“I used to feel guilty about taking personal time, but I also think I never met someone who was worth it before,” she told Vogue for its May, 2018 issue.

Divorced Hassan, 29, comes from one of the world’s richest families, and is the heir to the Abdul Latif Jameel fortune.

In 2017, they were ranked the fourth richest family in the Arab world with a collective net worth of $2.2 billion (Ksh220 billion), according to Forbes Middle East.

The family’s company, Abdul Latif Jameel, named after Hassan’s father, owns exclusive rights to Toyota car sales in Saudi Arabia, as well as seven other countries.

Before he started dating Rihanna, Hassan was reported to be dating Naomi Campbell, after being spotted with the London-born supermodel in July 2016, at the British Summer Time Festival in London.

Naomi and Rihanna unfollowed one another on Instagram after the “Umbrella” hit-maker’s secret romance was revealed.
